Augeo®

The world evolves and so does our chemistry

Augeo® is an innovative line of solvents developed from renewable source based on sustainability and high performance.

Produced from glycerin

Sustainable alternative to petrochemical solvents

High performance

This family of products is composed of versatile molecules, with high solubility power and low odor.

Solvents are used in various applications such as paints and varnishes, printing inks, household and institutional cleaners, leather and many others.

Nowadays sustainable solvents are the largest growth among current solvents.

More than high performance solvents, they are aligned with the most restrictive global legislations as well as with enviromental needs.

They present low carbon footprint and are not toxic to humans or to environment.

That's the Augeo® proposal!

With proven performance, the Augeo® line has been gaining increasingly demanding markets because of its differentiated benefits.

Augeo® Clean Multi

Sustainable Solvent with high cleaning performance

A bio-based solvent with low odor and non toxic

Augeo® Clean Multi provides efficient cleaning and active solvency power for homecare and industrial products. Due to its polarity, it is able to dissolve both water-soluble and oil-soluble soil, helping your formulation to effectively clean both kinds of soil and improving its wettability.

Augeo® Clean Multi also acts as coupling agent by compatibilizing the hydrophobic oils and soils into water, holding the soils into water, holding the soils in suspension and preventing it from re-depositing into the substrate. It has the adequate evaporation rate in order to garantee effective removal of soils.

Applications

Window/Glass Cleaners

Multi-Purpose Cleaners

Bathroom Cleaners

Home Care Wipes

Kitchen Cleaners

Metal Cleaners

Floor Cleaners

Oven Cleaners

Benefits & Differentials

Excellent for surface care

Act as coupling agent

Milder formulations keeping efficiency

Fragrance enhancement due to low odor

Improves formulation stability

Environmental friendly product

LVP VOC

Low carbon footprint

Aligned with the axis of sustainability performance, safety and value

Augeo® Clean Plus

Sustainable solvent with high degreasing performance

Providing active and efficient solvency power for heavy cleaner formulations

Augeo® Clean Plus is a perfect fit for household, industrial and degreasing formulations where performance is required to remove heavy soils.

Augeo® Clean Plus efficiently reduces the surface tension of water, improving its wettability and, consequently, the contact between soiled surface and cleaning formulation. Once the surface tension of the water is lowered it facilitates the suspension of the soil and preventing it from re-depositing on the cleaners surface before it can be wiped or rinsed away, resulting in a more effective cleaning.

Applications

Industrial Cleaning

Industrial oily soils

Industrial degreaser

Machinery and duty cleaner

Industrial kitchen and oven cleaner

Homecare Cleaning

Multipurpose Cleaner

Kitchen and Oven Cleaner

Bathroom Cleaner

Augeo® SL 191 is a slow-evaporating solvent composed molecule that joins diversified chemical functions in the same struture, and which have very interisting, specific characteristics for solubilization and film formation with the principal resins and polymers used on the paint and coating market.

A characteristic that differentiates the Augeo® SL 191 from other slow evaporating solvents available on the market is that its odor is practically imperceptible, thus making eligible for the most diverse applications.

Augeo® SL 191 was evaluated based on criteria and methods established by the GHS (Globally Harmonized System), presenting an excellent toxicological and eco-toxicological profile.

Epoxy Systems

Augeo® SL 191 is diluent that presents the right properties to be used as a plasticizer in thermoset epoxy systems emerging as an alternative to traditional plasticizers in the market, such as benzyl alcohol.

Its adequate boiling point and unique molecular structure makes it interesting for diluting curing agents in epoxy systems that will be cured at room or low temperatures.

In the films where Augeo® SL 191 was used as a plasticizer, it was observed a much lower yellowing progression caused by photo-oxidation when compared to the films containing the traditional plasticizer.

Furthermore, due to its HSE (health, safety and environment) profile, Augeo® SL 191 became not only a good technical solution for epoxy systems but also a sustainable solution.

Benefits

Biorenewable

Lower carbon footprint

Excellent toxicological and eco-toxicological profile

Solubilizes well the curing agent and the epoxy resin
